<p>"That's a 10 point difference.
This year, it's changed drastically to: CC - 1431 SEAS - 1469, but still different from you clearly BS numbers. You round up to the nearest 80?"</p>

<p>This was for the classes of 2007 and 2008 respectively. So my numbers are more relevant. Moreover, you've just proved my point, that end statistics paint the opposite picture i.e. that seas students should be smarter than columbia college students. I don't purport this, in all of my observation and experience i've seen them to be comparably smart. and people on this forum would agree. </p>

<p>"If you're an engineer, you should probably take a stats class"</p>

<p>why, i've taken several already, thanks for the advice though! ow i also happen to understand what i'm saying.</p>

<p>"Anyway, Lvilleslacker, you're kind of right that I have no idea what I'm talking about, I just can't take this abuse from confidentialcoll lying down."</p>

<p>ow yes, muerteapablo, i have nothing better to do than to direct abuse your way, very imaginative, you're quite the creative one.</p>

<p>Was that a rebuttal, or a critical review?</p>

23

<p>pablo, I enjoyed the part of this thread where you proved yourself wrong. </p>

SEAS SAT scores are NOT better than CC SAT scores. This is simply a fallacy.

<p>And then you cited Ivysuccess's 38 point split in favor of SEAS. Well done. You did all the rebutting yourself.</p>

24

<p>I was referring to last year's scores, in which the difference was 10 points, which is less than one question, certainly within the margin of inconclusiveness, and doesn't mean anything.
Still, you gotta love my burn.</p>

25

<p>There is no such thing as a 'margin of inconclusiveness' when you know the entire population of scores. A margin of error only exists when one is only given a subset or sample of the population. </p>

<p>In this case, even a difference of 10 points *conclusively *shows that SEAS students on average, score higher than CC students.</p>

26

<p>Yes; it conclusively shows that SEAS students get less than 1 question better than CC students, which means nothing.</p>

27

<p>It does however, prove you wrong.</p>

<p>Don't go throwing around statistical terms you don't understand.</p>

28

<p>I wasn't invoking the word "inconclusive" statistically, foolish boy.</p>

Do you disagree that you were wrong here? And that you maybe overstated the case by a considerable margin, while needlessly aggravating people?</p>

<p>The best answer to this question is: CC is an excellent liberal arts school, and SEAS is an excellent engineering school. Both will land you excellent jobs, and both are from the same ivy-league university. </p>

<p>Hell, if you care about prestige that much, you can just leave your resume as "B.A/B.S. in _____ Columbia University, New York, NY"; most people won't know or care about the difference between the two schools, since you take the same classes except for the cores in each school.</p>
